After Empire

The book critically analyzes the decline of U.S. global dominance following the Cold War, highlighting how military actions in Iraq and civil liberties violations eroded America’s moral authority. It presents a non-Western perspective on the emergence of a multipolar world, where rising powers like China and Russia challenge U.S. supremacy. Author Dilip Hiro offers a nuanced view of global politics, rejecting simplistic dichotomies and emphasizing the complex, shifting alliances reminiscent of pre-World War I Europe. The work provides insightful commentary on geopolitics, power dynamics, and economic shifts.
